On Properties of a Regular Simplex Inscribed into a Ball

Abstract: Let

B

be a Euclidean ball in

{m a t h b b R}^{n}

and let

C (B)

be a space of~continuous functions

f : B o m a t h b b R

with the uniform norm

| f |_{C (B)} := m a x_{x i n B} | f (x) | .

By

P i_{1} l e f t ({m a t h b b R}^{n} i g h t)

we mean a set of polynomials of degree

l e q 1

, i.e., a set of linear functions upon

{m a t h b b R}^{n}

. The interpolation projector

P : C (B) o P i_{1} ({m a t h b b R}^{n})

with the nodes

x^{(j)} i n B

is defined by the equalities

P f l e f t (x^{(j)} i g h t) = f l e f t (x^{(j)} i g h t)

,

j = 1,

l d o t s,

n + 1

. The norm of

P

as an operator from

C (B)

to

C (B)

can be calculated by the formula

| P |_{B} = m a x_{x i n B} s u m | l a m b d a_{j} (x) | .

Here

l a m b d a_{j}

are the basic Lagrange polynomials corresponding to the

n

-dimensional nondegenerate simplex

S

with the vertices

x^{(j)}

. Let

P^{p} r i m e

be a projector having the nodes in the vertices linebreak of a regular simplex inscribed into the ball. We describe the points

y i n B

with the property

| P^{p} r i m e |_{B} = s u m | l a m b d a_{j} (y) |

. Also we formulate a geometric conjecture which implies that

| P^{p} r i m e |_{B}

is equal to the minimal norm of an interpolation projector with nodes in

B

. We prove that this conjecture holds true at least for

n = 1, 2, 3, 4

. Keywords: regular simplex, ball, linear interpolation, projector, norm
